Your guide to yoga retreats in Devon
Devon is a county of stark contrasts and constant smiles.
Located in the heart of South West
England, the popular tourist destination is home to a motley of majestic landscapes, from large sandy beaches and lush forest trails to craggy coves and dramatic clifftops.
Here's everything you need to know about Devon.
Popular places in Devon
Every year, people flurry from all parts of the world to the southwest tip of
England for a relaxing break in the great British outdoors.
Devon is a top pick for many
solo practitioners and nature lovers for its two mesmerising moors and over 70 towns and villages.
If you adore breathtaking beaches and scenic coastal walks, then you'll want to head to South Devon.
In
Plymouth, you'll get a taste of Devon's beautiful coastline and culture, while the ancient city of
Exeter is the centre of the county's rich heritage, and of course the iconic cream tea.
Perhaps one of the most popular destinations in Devon is the Jurassic Coast.
A number of must-visit villages and towns pepper this stretch, including
Exmouth, Beer, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth. Here, yogis can dive into a revitalising morning yoga session on the beach, join a foraging adventure or soak up Devon's magical woodlands on a nature hike.
North Devon is a bit more rural than the south, with sweeping views of the coastline and truly wild outdoors. But don't let that deter you.
In the quaint seaside towns of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, yogis can enjoy rejuvenating Vinyasa flow sessions with a fresh ocean breeze.
Best time to visit
Although there's nothing better than soaking up the British sun on a
relaxing yoga retreat, Devon's coastline is a magnet for tourists come summertime.
If you're looking to relish the outdoors without the crowds, we'd suggest visiting Devon in
spring. From March to May, you can enjoy
restorative yoga outdoors with warm, balmy days and beautiful wildflowers.
In
autumn (September to November), major tourist spots settle down and visitors can make the most out of the remaining sunny days with yoga practice on the beach, surf lessons and trail running.
Major attractions
Devon isn't just picturesque coastal paths and ancient castles, although they shouldn't be missed.
The county is also a hotspot for art lovers, nature enthusiasts and foodies, with these attractions at the top of any Devon to-do list.
- Laze on Lundy Island
- Plunge into Lydford Gorge
- Cruise the craggy shores of Exmoor
- Unearth Stone Age ruins in Dartmoor
